Hi, I'm a high school teacher from Australia and I've built what I'd like to think is a pretty nifty ChatGPT powered presentation tool for teachers. I'd love it if you could have a look at it and give me some of your feedback. I don't think there's much overlap with the HN crowd and school teachers, but I've been coming here for many years and thought I'd post here and see what you all think. Check it out if you have a minute and I'd be super happy to hear your feedback too. https://www.slidehero.ai/ You can jump in and have a play with the tool all you like ;) Cheers, Eli

Decks▲182I’m building Decks, an application where you create study decks that consists of notes, flashcards, YouTube videos, and ChatGPT conversations. Notes and flashcards can be attached to YouTube videos. And your ChatGPT conversations are searchable and organizable through tags and folders. The concept is that this is study application where you can keep all your materials related to a subject in one place. Would appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks!

Hi HN! First time posting. I created a tool for my Autistic son who is in high school junior battling severe ADHD symptoms. His difficulties include; 1. Time blindness 2. Lack of executive functioning skills 3. Task initiation issues These three were severely affecting his grades. We had a consultation with a Developmental Psychologist who prescribed Concerta that improves his ability to focus in class. In addition he also has the boilerplate ADHD accommodations(2X time on tests and quiet place to take the test). These collectively improved his test taking abilities. But, when it came to his…

Hi HN, I’m still in college and new to the startup world, but here is my first shot at a side project: Milburn, an integrated therapy+journal tool(https://milburn.vercel.app/). I built Milburn bc every mental health tool I could find was missing something: the therapy apps didn’t have voice/memory/too expensive, and the journal apps were always a PITA to sync with therapy. We trained the chatbot’s model on specific therapy modalities(I personally need CBT sessions, but we also have others like DBT), and then created a prompted journal, added a feedback loop, voice…

Medullar▲3Hi HN, I want to share a project I’ve been working on for the past year: Medullar. It’s a platform for teams to search, organize, and extract actionable insights from documents, files, and conversations across many different tools. *Background:* I started this after years of frustration managing files and discussions scattered across cloud drives, email threads, chat logs, and more. Searching for the right bit of knowledge in Slack, Google Drive, or Dropbox was a daily pain, especially as projects scaled and teams grew. Existing “unified search” products either ignored security, required…

As someone with ADHD, depression and on the autism spectrum, I get in my head A LOT. Every time I run into an issue I create a tool for it. - I should post on Hacker News, but my app is not good enough > challenge my inner critic. - I want to binge eat instead of working > use the catch the urge feature and follow a strategy - Task is too overwhelming > task breakdown and copy the tasks to my notepad - I really don't want to get started on a task > procrastination solver Would love your feedback and any questions are welcome :)

ThinkTotem▲12Hi HN, I love reading non-fiction, but I kept catching myself skimming, zoning out, and forgetting most of what I’d “read”. To fix that I built ThinkTotem, a small web app that lets you upload a PDF/EPUB/article/YouTube link and then chat with the material until you actually understand it. What it does - Ingests PDFs, EPUBs, Word docs, plain-text URLs and even YouTube transcripts (≤ 4 MB for now) - Maps key ideas, trims filler and surfaces the essential concepts automatically - Runs an active-recall loop: Socratic questions, explain-it-back prompts, spaced-repetition style…
